六兆年と一夜物語 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've been thinking... Why do people praise Jesus even though they know him through a book? I'm not saying he's bad and all, I'm just saying WHY praise him. You can't really feel sympathy without meeting the person. I know this is how people got by with unexplainable things during that time, but still... This applies to other religeons as well; why praise heroes if you never actually met them and they only way you knew them was through stories?

Donquixote Doflamingo Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm an atheist, so I never understood religion. I think its the peoples "faith" that helps them believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niño Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Do you know what bugs me? Religious threads and religion bashing, and yes, regardless of what you say this is religion bashing, has been pointed out time and time again that it is against the rules, yet you continue to do it, why? It is beyond me. They praise him because people have for generations, the reason being which is because they are so scared of there actually being an existence of a place you go when you've been 'bad' that they counter productivly create a place you go when you've been 'good' after you die. People are scared, its the human condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should praise Jesus because he was nailed to a cross before his own people, and died so that we all may live. Unless we have approval, or are accepted by Jesus, we are not allowed to even look into the face of God, much less go into Heaven.Nobody, not even MLK and any other great person deserves to see him. Ya need the dead guy' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Religion isn't based on facts; it's based on faith. You either believed it happened, or you don't. I'm a Christain, so that's how I roll. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Phoenix Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 You only know us through the internet, which is technically a gigantic electronic book. Does that mean we are nonexistent too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
